Cardinal Health Helps Retail Pharmacies Access Home Health Care Products

SEATTLE—At its annual Retail Business Conference (RBC) for independent pharmacies, Cardinal Health announced that its retail pharmacy customers can build and diversify their businesses by providing their patients with convenient access to more than 40,000 home medical products through Independence Medical.

Earlier this year, Cardinal Health acquired Independence Medical, a leading distributor of disposable medical supplies and durable medical equipment. By accessing Independence Medical’s broad product and service offering, Cardinal Health retail pharmacy customers can now develop a new source of revenue by meeting the growing patient demand for home health care products.

“In today’s increasingly competitive health care landscape, it’s more important than ever before that community pharmacies find innovative ways to grow their businesses while meeting their patients’ evolving health care needs,” said Jon Giacomin, president of U.S. Pharmaceutical Distribution for Cardinal Health’s Pharmaceutical Segment. “This new offering will help retail pharmacies diversify their revenue while also strengthening their role as a local health care destination in the communities they serve.”
